trex cam? I have a trex in my '02 z28 and was wondering something. i also have a 5.3l ls motor that i am putting in my '52 styleline project car. can i put the heads from my 5.3l onto my ls1 without worrying about PTV clearance issues? and what would the pros and cons be of such a swap?
the main reason i want to do this swap isnt for the z28, since it will get aftermarket heads later in life, but more so for the 5.3l since i want to twin turbo it for the styleline i figured the bigger 5.7l heads would knock CR down a little bit more than it is now.....
any thoughts from anyone?

I see no issues with it. You can opt to put some 6.0L heads on instead, it will knock your CR down quite a bit more than the LS1 head will. LS1 head = about 66CC and the 6.0 head = 72 CC.
